It’s Obama - Taipei Times: "STATE BY STATE
Obama tore up the US political map as he defeated John McCain, the veteran Republican senator who had struggled vainly to distance himself from US President George W. Bush’s unpopular presidency.
Obama captured states once seen as Republican strongholds, including Florida, Indiana and Virginia, while defending all traditionally Democratic states.
In addition, Ohio, Iowa, New Mexico, Colorado and Nevada — all of which went to Bush in 2004 — turned Democratic in this year’s presidential election.
Obama scored a decisive win in the electoral vote, the state-by-state tally that determines the winner. Needing 270 votes to claim the presidency, Obama had 349 to McCain’s 147, with three states still too close to call. By comparison, Bush won the White House twice and never tallied more than 286 electoral votes"
